Dear Families,

Welcome to another exciting year at Clarksburg Classical Academy! Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, we are so glad to have you as part of our growing school community. At Clarksburg Classical, we are deeply committed to nurturing a school culture where every student is inspired to strive for their best, overcome obstacles, attend school consistently, and show respect for themselves, their teachers, and their community. These values are at the heart of everything we do. Our academic program continues to offer a well-rounded, engaging education that encourages creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. We believe that with hard work, perseverance, and a supportive environment, every student can reach their highest potential. As we begin this new school year, I encourage each of you to believe in yourself, dream big, and bring your best effort each day. When we all commit to our shared values and support one another, there’s no limit to what we can achieve together. You can visit www.clarksburgclassical.org and start ordering your blue polo with the crest. All students are to be in uniform wearing the blue polo with the crest along with khaki bottoms. Thank you for being part of the Clarksburg Classical Academy family. Please keep an eye out for updates and information throughout the summer as we prepare for another year of learning and growth.

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Nelson Head of School

 

Melissa Nelson, Head of School

Hello, Clarksburg Classical Academy Families,

I am Principal Melissa Nelson and I am thrilled to start this new adventure at Clarksburg Classical Academy. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, Master’s Degree in Special Education, with certifications in Autism and Professional Administration. I have 19 years of experience in education.

Personally, I am married to my husband Michael Nelson and together we have four daughters: Jada, Taylor, Channelle, and Myka who have attended local schools in Harrison County. My hobbies are golfing and watching football on the weekends.

Professionally, I am very passionate about making a difference in my students and the teachers I lead. I look for new ways to promote growth and engage all to want to keep learning. I believe that we can accomplish all things when we do our best, try our best, and be our best person.  I am a firm believer that every student can learn when they have structure, are motivated, and encouraged to do their best.

What is a charter school?

All charter schools are tuition-free public schools—open to all students, regardless of their zip code. The charter school model empowers teachers to provide innovative, high-quality instruction and gives them the autonomy to design a classroom that fits their students’ needs. Charter schools are led by dynamic principals who have the flexibility to create a school culture that fosters student performance and parent satisfaction. Charter schools are held accountable to the performance standards they agree to in their charter and by their communities.
